Characteristics of growing foals and care for them

Donkeys attributed to animals is undemanding to the conditions of detention and quality of forage. To improve care, to significantly improve their quality, without appreciable increase in the cost of maintaining the donkeys.

The first step to create good conditions for jeremih Queens. It is impossible to overlook a moment like frequent miscarriages in the Asses. The main reason this problem is hard work.

For donkeys dangerous damp, cold, so their content is necessarily in the desired areas. Indoors in winter obligatory dryness and heat, and summer welcome coolness. Great importance is attached to the litter material (especially in winter).

A couple of weeks after vegerable donkey connect to an easy job, the first time the mother sucker not absent for more than 3 hours. At the same time as possible, it is necessary to abandon long stretches (>25 km), as they are difficult for the colt. Suckling the uterus requires daily grazing. Grazing increases the milk of the ass and has a beneficial effect on the condition of the colt. Fresh grass is a great complement to mother's milk.

Foals sometimes leave under the dams before the next vizerunki. However, this late weaning is recognized as unwanted – a negative effect on milk yield of ewes and on the development of future offspring. The optimal age foals when weaning 7-8 months. Delay it is possible only in case, if accurately determined that the mother was left unfertilized.

For the foal under the mother, fertilizing for the first time months are not required. Prerequisite – a good yield of the uterus and gradually accustom young animals to other feed in the trough of the mother. Necessary all the same grazing. A few weeks before weaning, the suckling is a special fertilizing is represented by crushed barley. The minimum daily rate is 0.1 kg.

After weaning, which usually coincides with the winter period when grazing is practically absent, feeding of young, you must pay special attention. A sample diet: crushed barley and 0.5 kg, hay – 2 kg. Closer to the spring period the rate of hay increases up to 2.5 kg. the greens Appeared to replace the donkeys-godovikam roughage and concentrates partially.

Winter diet includes old donkeys alfalfa hay – 3 kg, Saman – 2 kg crushed barley – 0.7 kg.

With the advent of the new grazing period of two years donkeys start to graze, and in late autumn they go in the stall and begin to ration calculated for the seventeen-month-old animals. The average live weight of donkeys, thus grown, to three years up to 180 kg.

As you can see, the feeding of the foals has its own characteristics. At the same time they are less demanding on feed compared to foals, which naturally facilitates the breeding and use of donkeys.
